A liitle probing into Mr Shorter's background seems to suggest that his primary motivation for choosing psychiatry as his field of activity is not to help sick and vulnerable people get better, but to ensure that certain groups of people he feels an antipathy to remain traduced, marginalised and oppressed.
It's a sad fact of life that whilst many people who have obtained positions of influence are nobly actuated by ambitions to do good in the world, others, regrettably, are actuated by negative ambitions to harm and suppress people they are ideologically predisposed to dislike, and they will dedicate considerable energy to pursuing this ignoble goal.
He's not a psychiatrist. He is a medical historian.
